LAUGHTER AND SONG.
What of the sadness — What of the gloom? Sorrow is madness: Brightness will loom. Chase away sorrow — Chase away wrong. Joys come to-morrow-* Laughter and song. Laugh, and be merry, Sorrow defy ; Quaff the pres3'd berry, Stifle the sigh. Soon we must number • All days as gone; Soon we must slumbei Still and alone. Life is a short race — Death is too long; Live with a light graceLaughter and song. — J. POLLAH». Christchurch, April, 1906.
